  [TORRENT] Byzantium Linux v0.1a

  Posted: November 1st, 2012, 2:28am MDT

  LBL_TAG_TAGS:    [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

  Project Byzantium
  
  Byzantium Linux is a live distribution of Linux designed to help people connect with one another in the absence of convenient access to the Internet.  Specifically, Byzantium aims to help solve the Katrina Problem (the telecommunications infrastructure is too damaged to function) as well as the Egypt Problem (the telecommunications infrastructure is either disconnected or is too hazardous for people to safely use due to surveillance).  Based upon Porteus Linux (itself a derivative of Slackware), the distribution includes two full desktop environments (KDE and LXDE), a full development kit, mesh routing software, a web-based control panel, and web services designed to take the place of websites commonly used by people during times of crisis, such as Twitter and Etherpad.
  
  Please note that this is an alpha release - we are far from finished, and need the help of the Linux community to grow!

  [TORRENT] Fuduntu-2012.1-x86_64-LiveDVD

  Posted: October 1st, 2012, 12:01pm MDT

  LBL_TAG_TAGS:    [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

  The Fuduntu quarterly installation ISO image (2012.1) is now available for immediate download. As with all Fuduntu releases, this release continues our tradition of small incremental improvements. It is important to note that existing Fuduntu users will roll up to this version through the normal update process, and do not need to download or install from this media to benefit from this release.
  
  This release marks a shift in release numbering. Going forward, Fuduntu releases will be numbered as follows:
  
  Year.Release
  
  We will ring in the new year with Fuduntu 2012.1.
  
  As we are a rolling release distribution with quarterly snapshots, you should expect four roll-up releases this year. We do not define a specific release date, we release when we believe it is ready which may happen at any time after the beginning of each quarter.
  
  Package updates in this release:
  
  Linux Kernel 3.1.6
  Chromium 16
  Adobe Flash Player 11.1.102.55
  
  Many new packages available in the repository including LibreOffice 3.4.3, and Firefox and Thunderbird 9. Fuduntu enjoys a wide selection of packages, these and many more are available by selecting System > Administration > Add / Remove Software.
  
  Major changes in this release:
  
  The default theme has seen many improvements this cycle, from a refinement of the metacity theme to the complete replacement of the default font. The former theme has been branded Fuduntu Classic and is available in System > Preferences > Appearance.
  
  In addition, I am pleased to announce that Fuduntu now uses the Google Droid Sans font as our default. This is an amazing typeface, and it really dials it all in.
  
  Additionally, we no longer configure the GNOME Terminal to use a bold font by default.
  
  GIMP is no longer included in Fuduntu as a default. Users that need this software can find it in the repository by using the Add / Remove Software utility.
  
  Since Fuduntu has become an independent distribution, the team has added thousands of new or updated packages to the repository, and we are adding more all the time. As we grow it is critical to the community that the team also grows. In order to continue to serve the needs of our users, we need your help. If you are a Fuduntu user, or you are interested in joining and helping the Fuduntu Team; please reach out to an existing team member for guidance on becoming a Fuduntu Intern sponsored by a Fuduntu Team member. This new program is designed to guide interested members of the community down the road towards becoming a valuable contributor.
  
  Thank you all for a great 2011, we hope that you continue to enjoy Fuduntu.

  Cystic Fibrosis Gene Correction Drug Approved by the FDA

  Posted: February 1st, 2012, 11:41am MST by Unknown Lamer

  LBL_TAG_TAGS:    [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

  
  

  tguyton writes "The good news: the FDA just approved the distribution of the first drug to treat the underlying cause of Cystic Fibrosis, called Kalydeco by Vertex Pharmaceuticals. The bad news: this drug will only affect 4% of patients with the disease in the U.S. From the article: '[Affected patients] with the so-called G551D mutation have a defective protein that fails to balance the flow of chloride and water across the cell wall, leading to the buildup of internal mucus. The vast majority of cystic fibrosis patients have a different genetic defect, in which the protein does not reach the cell wall. Vertex is developing another drug to try and address that problem. Study data for that drug is expected later this year.' Hopefully the research involved will be applicable to finding treatments for other genetic diseases." Further bad news: "...executives said Kalydeco would cost $294,000 for a year's supply, placing it among the most expensive prescription drugs sold in the U.S."

  ITC Throws Out B&N Antitrust Claims Against MS

  Posted: February 1st, 2012, 11:00am MST by Unknown Lamer

  LBL_TAG_TAGS:    [LBL_TAG_EDIT]

  
  

  N!NJA writes with an excerpt from a post by Florian Mueller: "Barnes & Noble's primary line of defense against Microsoft's allegations of patent infringement by the bookseller's Android-based devices has collapsed in its entirety. An Administrative Law Judge at the ITC today granted a Microsoft motion to dismiss, even ahead of the evidentiary trial that will start next Monday (February 6), Barnes & Noble's 'patent misuse' defense against Microsoft. [...] Prior to the ALJ, the ITC staff — or more precisely, the Office of Unfair Import Investigations (OUII), which participates in many investigations as a third party representing the public interest — already supported Microsoft's motion all the way. The OUII basically concluded that even if all of what Barnes & Noble said about Microsoft's use of patents against Android was accurate, it would fall far short of the legal requirements for a patent misuse defense."
